Paramount+ released today the trailer for Bargain, a new thriller series from South Korea.
Having won the Critics’ Choice Award at Seriencamp Festival in Cologne and Best Screenplay at Canneseries Festival earlier this year, South Korean dystopian thriller series Bargain is an official 2023 Toronto International Film Festival selection, where it will have its North American premiere on September 9.
In Bargain, men are lured to a remote hotel under the guise of sexual encounters, only to be caught in a trafficking ring where their organs are auctioned off to the highest bidder. After a catastrophic earthquake, the victims, traffickers, and buyers are all trapped inside the crumbling building. Cut off from the outside world, they must fight to survive the aftermath at any cost.
Starring Jin Sun-kyu (The Uncanny Counter), Jun Jong-seo (Money Heist: Korea), and Chang Ryul (Stranger), the series is an adaptation of director Lee Chung-hyun’s award-winning short film of the same name that was released in 2015.
Bargain premieres as a six-episode binge in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Latin America, Brazil, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, on Thursday, October 5, exclusively on Paramount+.
Developed by Paramount+ and TVING, out of Paramount’s global partnership with the Korean entertainment company CJ ENM, Bargain is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution outside of South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan.
